Course Description

Coding Kaleidoscope Grades PK-K

Science

Did you know that everything a computer does is controlled by lines of a special language? This language is called code. Join us on our mission to become coders! First, learn to be a responsible digital citizen and safely navigate the digital world. Put your persistence to the test as you learn to sequence and create loops in code in order to make an event occur. Will your characters be able to complete their mission?

Technology

Even though code looks like a foreign language, it’s a language that anyone can pick up with some practice. Meet KIBO, the screen-free robot, and learn to communicate with KIBO using wooden blocks of code. Teach KIBO to perform a variety of tasks and dances! Meet Ozobot, the tiny robotic ball, and learn to communicate with Ozobot using color. Send Ozobot on a special mission, and use color to show him the way!

Art

Take on the look of a programmer! Translate your name into binary code, and design a bracelet to showcase it. Continue to practice your binary skills by solving a color mystery that can only be cracked with this special coding knowledge. Invent your own space alien, and use a pixel grid to bring your alien to life – just like Space Invader!

Outdoor Fun

Embrace your inner code master! Compete against your peers to decipher a secret message in record time. Construct new songs as you follow the music around the wheel of code. Communicate in code with your team to successfully pass your treasure around the room, and take on the role of human and computer to see which “species” can win the game.

Forms & Resources

Sun Screen Waiver Form

With hot summer temperatures upon us, we’d like to remind you of the extra precautions we take to make sure our campers stay cool and well hydrated. Please take a look at our FAQ page to see our procedures for keeping the kids cool! If you would like us to apply sunscreen, please fill out the waiver form and hand it in to the Camp Director on Monday morning.

Summer Camp Planner

Club SciKidz realizes that families are very busy during the summer. With multiple camps and sometimes multiple kids, it can be a real challenge planning and then getting them to all of their summer activities.

How do we stay on top of it all without going crazy!? The easiest solution, we believe, is to send all of your kids to every single week of Club SciKidz Summer Camp. With 52 unique camps, we have something for all of your kids!

However, we know that is not always practical, and that your kids have other interests as well, such as art/sports/etc… So, we have created this simple Summer Camp Planner to help you organize your summers. All you have to do is print it out and put your child’s name up top and then fill-in the rest of their Summer Camp Schedules. This is a great tool to help organize & plan your summers and hopefully give you a little more time to have some time of your own!

Medical Form

The Welcome Packet mentions an ‘Administration of Medicine Form’. If your child requires any medications during the time he/she is at the camp, please download this form and print it, fill in the required information, and bring it with the child on the first day of camp.

Welcome Packet

Getting ready for camp should be an exciting process for your entire family. Many families attend multiple camps throughout the summer. For your convenience we have posted our Welcome Packet in the form of a parent newsletter on-line in PDF format. This document covers everything from Club SciKidz policies to camp dates and security issues.
